Pole Barn & Shop Insulation in Mansfield, OH

Pole barn and shop insulation solves two problems in north-central Ohio. In winter, a bare steel building loses heat as fast as you can make it. In spring and fall, warm, damp air inside the building hits cold steel panels and condenses, so water drips from the roof onto equipment, hay, vehicles and tools. Closed-cell spray foam applied directly to the steel stops both: it insulates, and because it bonds to the metal there is no cold surface left for moisture to form on.

Why foam instead of batts

Fiberglass in a post-frame building tends to sag, collect moisture behind it and give mice a home. Closed-cell foam is rigid, sticks to the panel, and adds about R-5 to R-7 per inch according to HomeGuide. It also seals the seams and fastener holes that let wind through the walls.

Who calls us

Farmers around Lucas, Butler, Bellville and the townships outside Mansfield with machinery sheds and livestock barns. Hobbyists and contractors with heated shops. Homeowners with a detached garage they want to turn into a workspace. Each building is different: some need foam on the roof only to stop dripping, others need full walls and roof to hold heat.

Planning the job

We look at the building's use, heat source, doors and ventilation. A heated shop needs a different thickness than a cold storage barn. Foam left exposed in a building used by people may need a coating or barrier, depending on the product listing and how the building is used; we tell you which applies before we price.
